I know I always collect plastic toys in hopes of selling them for profit moments before the bottom falls out of the market. That $60 cash flow....whew what a head rush. It's like being a wall street wolf only not.

I know the transformations are different, but if you can get a taller bot like Swindle from a Willis size jeep, you could downsize the jeep and still get a carbot size robot. Another example is MP Hot Rod.

Very true, but it's not going to be much smaller in alt mode, and certainly not in "scale" with the rest of the cars. Unless we're talking panel-forming fake-part magic, the front of the jeep still needs to become the robot chest.

I really like the height of Willis (however he is spelled). With all of the Nisans, Wheeljack, and the Lamborghinis being exactly the same height, and then the jump to Ironhide and Ratchet, it is nice to have a bot that bridges these two heights. It makes my Ark-bot collection look more natural, than just having height steps.

Sure, as small as it can be, but not expecting "in scale", just a less monstertruckish jeep. Maybe the front of the jeep could expand to be wider in bot mode, and some pannels to create empty legs.

Anyone know anywhere that is selling this guy still? Everyone is out of stock :/

It is scarce now. Even preorders for BBTS' upcoming restock has sold out. BestGrey on Amazon has it marked up for about $150 I believe due to low supply and high demand. Similar situation with Sovereign. It's like when Stomp X dried up.

I also don't have a Willis already. Wasn't high in my prio list, but surely want one in the near future. Hope they reissue it.

That's why I recommend that if you are on the fence about picking up a FT item when it is readily available then if you are able to do so pick it up. That's because you never know when they suddenly dry up. If you decide you don't want your copy you can always sell it later even at a markup used if the demand is high enough and availability is low.

My wife got me one for last Christmas. The next week they were sold out at Kapow. I'm considering myself lucky. BTW, does anybody here know whether FT does reissues in general? They had one with Quakeblast, but other than that?

I'm sure you mean Quakewave.
They do offer reissues it just a matter if or when they decide to do so.
